Dynamic Attendance!

Seems like I remember this being in last year at times but hopefully it's fully functional and true to life now.

This has been a big pet peave of mine forever. I am glad they got this in.

Let's just hope that it doesn't start out half full, then after you win 3-4 in a row it's suddenly packed to the brim with people. I could see it getting 80-90% full after half a season, maybe packed with 2 or so games left if you're undefeated or 9-1, but not after a 3-0 start.

Yea, in Choops 2k8, you could take a school over who was getting 30% attendance per game, then get 20 wins and the attendance would stil only be in the 70-80's range. Thats how it should be. If you turn a school around for one season, have it get high, but it should only sell out on rivalry games or against ranked teams that season. If you keep having great seasons or just have rich tradition, then crowd attendance should always be good.

So many things other sports series could learn from College Hoops.

On a side note, if EA does a Coaching Carousel, what would they call it?

Exactly. If you take over a team that's a 1-star program, you shouldn't pack out the stadium until probably the end of your 2nd year, at the earliest. Like the fan base is just finally starting to believe again. 80-85% at the end of year one maybe but a consistent sellout game after game after only one and a half years of success is a stretch.

"Where Did Coach Go?" with Corso sitting there shrugging, with a confused face and both hands in the air palms up.

I just hope they get this right. I guess it shouldn't be hard to program if they just based it solely off of the score.
